Chapter 2 First Order Differential Equations
www.math.uh.edu › ~almus › 4389_DE_ch22.1. Linear Differential Equations A first order differential equation y0 = f(x,y) is a linear equation if the function f is a “linear” expression in y. That is, the equation is linear if the function f has the form f(x,y)=P(x)y +q(x). (c.f. The linear function y = mx+b.) The solution method for linear equations is based on writing the ...
